#Shen Jian Signs with Yixin Entertainment
"..."
After fermenting overnight.
The news that Shen Jian had signed with Yixin Entertainment quickly spread online.
Various marketing accounts and entertainment gossip bloggers have released videos commenting on the incident, hoping to gain some traffic.
Yixin Entertainment has its own official Douyin account.
Although it only has 30 followers.
However, there are still many media outlets lurking on the watchlist, as well as marketing accounts and studios that make a living from entertainment gossip.
If an ordinary celebrity changes their management company when their contract expires, they might at most repost it, or simply not comment at all.
After all, this kind of news doesn't arouse the curiosity of Douyin users at all.
Even though Zhang Xueying signed with Yixin in the first half of the year, it didn't cause much of a stir.
Unless it's a top-tier celebrity like Zhao Lusi, who goes head-to-head with her management company, it's unlikely to generate any buzz.
Other celebrity gossip can't compete with the abstract and quirky internet celebrities on Douyin.
For example, there's the "founder of the Apple Sam Tesla high-value people's three-piece set" not long ago, or the female version of Faker; the number one line walker Donut, the gossip queen, and so on.
Of course, the illiterate Shen Jian was one of them.
Everyone thought his participation in "Mercury Intelligence Agency" was just a coincidence.
As a result, Yixin Entertainment made an official announcement.
This propelled him to the top of the trending list.
After all, it's quite shocking for an illiterate person to enter the entertainment industry.
The image of someone who is illiterate is too deeply ingrained in people's minds.
The buzz continues to grow.
Some influential bloggers who post gossip and commentary have already started sharing their opinions and trying to gain traffic.

"You all saw it yesterday, right? Yixin Entertainment signed a new internet celebrity, that's Shen Jian."
"Yes, yes, it's him. I've watched his live stream. He's decent-looking, but his other qualities are hard to say."
But as I mentioned before, the transition of internet celebrities to the entertainment industry is a major trend for the future, mainly because the success rate is too high. Just like Liu Yuning, Zhang Ruonan, Zhao Lusi, and Wang Yinglu, they all started as internet celebrities.
But let me tell you, the boss of Yixin is Yang Tianzhen, you know? She doesn't fight unprepared battles, so Shen Jian's move must have a deeper meaning.
Are there still people in the live stream who don't believe it? Of the four former EXO members who returned to China, Lu Han was the most popular and influential after his return. Do you know how many companies approached him? So why was he ultimately signed by Yang Tianzhen, a newly established agency? He must have some exceptional qualities.
However, to be fair, Yang Tianzhen's strongest achievement is probably securing Lu Han's signature back then. As for signing Shen Jian this time, I don't know. Personally, I think it's difficult for her to make a name for herself. Although there are many pretty faces in the entertainment industry, there are very few illiterate people.

"I see everyone tagging me, asking what I think about illiteracy infiltrating the entertainment industry?"
"Actually, I didn't watch it much. I just watched it like this. Everyone knows I make movies. I'm a director and a producer, but I don't run an agency. Anyway, people from our generation can't understand this to some extent."
In a film crew, if you're illiterate, no one cares. But if you're an actor and you're illiterate, then it's definitely not going to work. You don't have depth, how can you understand the character? Even if the filming is terrible, it still won't be good.
But then again, young people these days don't care about these things; if they like it, that's fine with them.
Investors see a profit to be made, so they don't care if you're illiterate or not, right?
But looking back over the years, almost everyone who has achieved something, setting aside character, possesses a certain level of cultural literacy. To put it bluntly, an illiterate person might be able to survive on Douyin, but you can't expect a freshwater fish to swim in the ocean, can you?

"I'm just a small-time director, and I do have my own biases about the entertainment industry."
But to be honest, signing a contract with an illiterate person is a rather unusual case.
I will not comment on this person, Shen Jian, whom you are referring to.
But from an insider's perspective, I think it will be very difficult for him to rise to prominence.

Sisters, have you seen it? Yixin Entertainment officially announced it yesterday. I was originally looking for news about Wang Anyu's new drama, but I saw this instead.
Good heavens, they actually signed Shen Jian! Who knows, I'm completely stunned.
I no longer care about Hu Yanbin's relationship with that internet celebrity. Anyway, after he broke up with Shuangzi, he could no longer sing "Moonlight".
What I really want to know is, what can Shen Jian do in the entertainment industry? How will he develop his career?
He's definitely no good at singing, dancing, or acting; he's illiterate!
[...]
Many gossip bloggers have posted videos or started live streams.
The number of likes and comments is quite good.
Meanwhile.
Shen Jian's Douyin account comment section also exploded.
[Damn it! You...you...I'm not feeling well, I'm going to sleep.]
[Damn it, can't the entertainment industry even require a bachelor's degree?]
[Shen Jian, listen to me, don't go, come back! Social dancing is your domain!]
[Damn, you guys are really nasty! So what if he becomes a celebrity? Even if he's illiterate, at least he's a good-for-nothing, so what!]
[Aaaaaah! I'm going to hang myself! I'm graduating soon, and not only is he going to drive a Range Rover, but he might even get to kiss my crush while filming a movie!]
[Shen Jian, I'm begging you, if you ever become really famous and start acting, and Dilraba Dilmurat plays the lead role, and you two are kissing, could you please call out my name?! (╥.╥)]
[*Is the Chinese entertainment industry really out of talent? Anyone can become a star? ↓]
[Reply: Upstairs, you don't even follow us, yet you dare to insult our son? Who do you think you are?]
Reply: We said it was out of concern for our family. Who are you? What business is it of yours whether they're worthy or not? Did they eat your rice?
...]
[Son, since you've already signed the contract, just go for it. Even if you don't amount to anything in the entertainment industry, you can still make a mess of things! Hahaha!]
[I think so too. So what if someone is illiterate? Can't they learn? Are those people so great? I'd love to see illiterate people become celebrities.]

Yixin Entertainment Building.
Agent's office.
Lin Youyou is showing the online feedback one by one after the official announcement.
Liangmu stared blankly at the projected screen.
He never expected that signing a contract with an internet celebrity would cause such a huge reaction.
Moreover, he had previously seen Shen Jian's account, which only had one million followers.
Are these big entertainment gossip bloggers also trying to ride this wave of traffic?
The key is that some of them are insiders.
Many of the evaluations of Shen Jian are negative and pessimistic.
This undoubtedly puts pressure on future operations.
If Shen Jian's journey goes smoothly, that's fine; but if it doesn't, his manager will definitely bear the primary responsibility.
What he couldn't understand even more was Shen Jian's comment section.
What the hell is all this?
What celebrity comment section looks like this?
Liangmu was a little flustered, never expecting to be proven wrong so quickly.
Yesterday I said that the public relations and operations departments didn't need to keep an eye on things.
The situation completely collapsed the next day.
for a long time.
Liangmu sighed: "Xiaoyou, inform Shen to come to the meeting."
Lin Youyou: "Okay."
